I just finished reading "In the President's Secret Service" by Ronald
Kessler and the SS had NOTHING good to say about LBJ.
BTW, it's a real good read.
The SS really has been facing some challenges with the director they
currently have and have had for awhile. Interesting.
Isn't that the book where the SS had great things to say about the Bushes? And less than great things to say about Dem. Presidents?
Pretty much. The Carters treated them very badly and kept thier drinking
undercover, but they were hard drinkers. They did like Bill Clinton, but
not Hillary, by any means. Yes, they really thought the Bushes treated
them well. And the Obama's do as well. They had problems with both
Bush daughtes as they just wanted to be like normal people; the
best young people they had to deal with was Chelsea Clinton. As I said,
it's an interesting book. They really don't have the first-class firearms
they need and some other things they need and the morale is not as good
as it should be. Oh, they really liked President Reagan, but not his wife,
Nancy...
Here's a quote from the book: "Bush is down-to-earth, caring, an agent
says.The Bushes offer food to agents. They are always thinking of
people around them."
"But agents were always amazed at the difference between Bush in
person and the way he came across at press conferences. He does not
look comfortable in front of a microphone, an agent who was on his
detail says. With us he doesn't talk like that, doesn't sound like that.
He's funny as hell. Incredible sense of humor and he'll joke around."
Anyhow, I enjoyed the book and would recommend it. It's an easy read.
